Hi all, I’m new to sysadmin and Apache configuration. Trying to get AWStats running, but in troubleshooting have gotten to trying to run a simple Hello World (html output) script on port 8888 and have been hitting a wall of 403 Forbidden.
It’s not the script:
mikekilmer@glitchbox:/var/www/html$ perl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.pl
Content-type: text/html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Hello, world!</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Hello, world!</H1>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Shebang matches path to perl: #!/usr/bin/perl
These are the main config settings:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all denied
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/share>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Directory and file permissions are 755 and 644 with ownership being root:root
(on cgi-bin, perl files).
Apache’s html/index.html shows up:
http://www.infiniteglitch.net:8888/manual.html/howto/cgi.html
This is what the error log says:
[Sat Jun 06 05:53:24.412867 2015] [authz_core:error] [pid 28374:tid
140381836453632] [client 108.205.62.183:55886] AH01630: client denied by server
configuration: /usr/local/apache2
I think maybe I’m missing something with Configuring Apache to permit CGI.
Module
1. Note: If Apache has been built with shared module support you need to ensure
that the module is loaded; in your apache2.conf you need to make sure the
LoadModule directive has not been commented out. A correctly configured
directive may look like this:
LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
I don’t know if it was built with shared module support. Installed with
apt-get. Not finding the line LoadModule in the config file. Trying to add
above line Apache won’t restart.
ScriptAlias
2. There is one ScriptAlias in the config file, put there by AWStats. Adding
this directive `ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/` didn’t seem
to do anything. I even tried moving my hello (or should i say hellp) script
into `/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/` still 403.
Explicitly using Options
Even tried adding
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
to the <Directory /var/www/> directive.
All to no avail. Any ideas for next step?
Thanks mucho.
